Question 10

A student measures the frequency of a wave as 2 waves/second, and the wavelength as 40 cm/wave. Use the velocity equation to calculate the speed of the wave. $$\upsilon=f imes\lambda$$

Accepted Answer

80cm/second

Answer

40cm/second

Answer

20cm/second

Answer

2cm/second

Question 11

Soundwaves are actually made through creating....

Accepted Answer

vibrations

Answer

heat

Answer

cells

Answer

energy

Question 12

How does a sound wave travel from the bell to your ear?

Accepted Answer

The wave travels by pushing air particles into a smaller area (compression) each time the bell rings. The compressed air travels to your ear carrying the sound wave.

Answer

The sound travels as a transverse wave each time the bell rings. The wave travels to your ear carrying the sound wave in an up-and-down motion.

Answer

The wave travels by spreading air particles into a larger area (expansion) each time the bell rings. The expanded air travels to your ear carrying the sound wave.

Question 13

The student increases the amplitude of the drum noise. Which of the following is true? (Mark all that apply.)

Accepted Answer

The sound wave will transfer more energy.

Accepted Answer

The sound will be louder.

Answer

The frequency will increase.

Answer

The pitch will increase.

Answer

The wavelength will increase.

Question 14
